The song takes the raw, heartfelt tradition of the blues together with the expansive storytelling of Americana. Here, Killen delivers something of an instant classic as it carries the weight of history while carving out its own unique space in today’s music landscape.

Inspired by a painful chapter in Killen’s life, the sudden passing of his father and grandmother in 2012, this song is more than a lament. It is more of a direct tribute, a meditation, and a testament to the healing power of music.
